Organizations that are team-focused make available a wide range of resources to help team members improve and expand their skill sets. A good mentor program should be based on honest discussion between the mentor and the mentee, in which constructive criticism is encouraged on both sides....

• Building the Disposition of Reflection Through the Inquiry-Focused School Library Program

The goal of educators to cultivate reflective thinkers is enhanced through the inquiry-focused school library program proposed by Kuhlthau. The authors present reflection, an essential component of inquiry, as a disposition that can be "caught, taught and acquired" through a process of modeling in a school library environment which is designed to support the development of this essential critical thinking skill. A framework for strengthening the disposition of reflection is presented, based on Dewey's and Schön's work on reflection and Bransford, Brown and Cocking's work on learning. The stages of reflection and inquiry are compared to dispositions-in-action, indicating their potential for enhancing student learning and understanding. Guidelines and practical suggestions are recommended...

• Olympian Effort Building Successful Teams at Work Takes Time, Effort and Commitment

Strangely enough, we don't hear about such synergistic teams in the workplace. Is this because synergistic teams in the workplace are rare? If so, then how can one go about building a team that can indeed reach a synergistic level? Teamwork evolves in stages -- Most people seem to forget that teams go through specific stages that include forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning. During the early forming stage, team members are initially cautious while power issues and conflicts arise in the next storming stage. Once the ground rules are set and a common purpose is established, the team can begin to work together in the performing stage. However, the development of a team takes quite a bit of time to go through these stages, perhaps even years. Synergistic teams celebrate su...
